Question

Why did most states limit the power of the governors and divide their legislators two bodies

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

"They wanted to prevent abuses", or take advantage, "of power in the states and they wanted the power to be in the hands of the people." The person that said they didn't wanna be like a king was almost correct, but they had other reasons than that.
